Can Our DNA Electromagnetically 'Teleport' Itself? One Researcher Thinks So | Popular Science
DNA Teleportation Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier describes a phenomenon in which DNA emits electromagnetic signals of its own construction, "ghost DNA" that can be mistaken by enzymes as the real deal and replicated in another place. Essentially, it's DNA teleportation. Montagnier, et al.
A Nobel prize winning scientist who shared the 2008 prize for medicine for his role in establishing the link between HIV and AIDS has stirred up a good deal of both interest and skepticism with his latest experimental results, which more or less show that DNA can teleport itself to distant cells via electromagnetic signals. If his results prove correct, they would shake up the foundations upon which modern chemistry rests. But plenty of Montagnier’s peers are far from convinced.
The full details of Montagnier’s experiments are not yet known, as his paper has not yet been accepted for publication. But he and his research partners have made a summary of his findings available. Essentially, they took two test tubes – one containing a fragment of DNA about 100 bases long, another containing pure water – and isolated them in a chamber that muted the earth’s natural electromagnetic field to keep it from muddying the results. The test tubes were housed within a copper coil emanating a weak electromagnetic field.

Several hours later, the contents of both test tubes were put through polymerase chain reactions to identify any remnants of DNA – a process that subjected the contents to enzymes that would make copies of any DNA fragments they found. According to Montagnier, the DNA was recovered from both tubes even though the second should have only contained water.
Montagnier and his team say this suggests DNA emits its own electromagnetic signals that imprint the DNA’s structure on other molecules (like water). Ostensibly this means DNA can project itself from one cell to the next, where copies could be made – something like quantum teleportation of genetic material, a notion that is spooky on multiple levels.
Naturally, there is plenty of skepticism to go around regarding these findings, ranging from outright dismissal to measured doubt. Indeed, it’s a pretty radical notion: DNA replicating itself through “ghost imprints” rather than the usual cellular processes. More details will emerge when the paper is published in a peer-reviewed journal, as it is likely to be. The findings will then have to be repeated in multiple independent studies to be considered valid, something that will take some time. In the meantime, expect these findings to draw equal parts intrigue and skeptical scrutiny.

Week 5 Reading
Structural overviews or site maps.
A site map (or sitemap): is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a web site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion.
A site map should be created first in order to give you a good idea of what you will need to design. You shouldn't jump immediately into making elaborate pages, look before you leap so to speak. A site map is literally a map, you wouldn't start driving to a new destination without any general idea where to go. Without a site map you haven'y even determined your preferred vehicle for travel.
Research and testing.
- "Nothing beats a live... reaction."
- "Testing one is better than none"
- "Test early"
Testing your site is how you can identify your web "pitfalls". While observing someone use your site, be sure to note their body language, their tone of voice, the way they navigate, where they seem to have trouble. In this way you can further refine your site. You can find the minute details that need fixing and polish off your user experience.

The eight different elements that a creative professional must master:
Color, Type Styling, Weight and Scale, Structure, Grouping, Graphic Elements, Imagery, Sound and Motion.
Color: Color tells the story of mood, it can help to establish hierarchy and is universally understood it is a common language among humans.
Type Styling: is meant to show the dominance of certain characters over others, making one word bold and another italic already creates a sense of mood and intention.
Weight and Scale: another way to show hierarchy, weight can help a reader peruse a document with ease. The larger type being headlines the smaller being information about the larger type. It is a format that we are all familiar with.
Structure: Grids create a sensible organization, grids also create continuity and help to guide readers through a document.
Grouping: is another form of using continuity as a way to help a user navigate a document. Keeping related content together helps the user to navigate quickly and pain free.
Graphic Elements: are things like geometric shapes and lines, they can be used to guide your eye and draw your attention. they can also be used to separate different sections of information
Imagery: Is used to illustrate concepts, like the old saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words. This concept also works in reverse, a wrong photo is worth a thousand wrong words.
Sound and Motion: People love immersive content, we are constantly seeing the visual but putting our other senses to use like audio, or combining visual and audio together (video).

The creative brief perhaps the most important stage of planning a project. Who is going to pay for this, who is supporting this product, who will not support it, target audience ect…
Creating a Brief gives you a better understanding of the project as a whole in terms of real life and the motivating forces behind a project, mainly money and time.
The Four necessary ares of a creative brief: Client information, Project information, goals and requirements, and logistics.
It will helps if you are working with team members, the creative brief is a road map or a blueprint for the project. The skeleton cannot be created until you understand what it will be used for and how. Putting restraints on your project actually helps you to formulate ideas.

This website goes through the basics of writing a creative brief and all of the steps to help you flush out your ideas to the fullest potential.
Some tips on how to write a better creative brief.
